The incident

Prologue

“I will never fall in love.”

Not after
what pain it has caused my mom--giving all for herself to just end up broken in
the end.I see love as an incident put on this ridiculous place we
call earth. Love does nothing more than
just make you happy for a long time until someone just stops loving you. Then
he does not want to hurt you simply
saying, “I’m sorry… I’m done. I’m leaving.” So he picks up his suitcase and
walks out that door without looking back, in the dark of night. You are sitting
on the stairs as you watch the person you once loved walk right out of that
door without saying “goodbye.” Love is
just a huge incident that hits when
you’re young and dumb. Just take my mom for example; she fell in love with her
best friend. They both went to different colleges, but somehow “love” brought
them back together. They got married and had me. My name is Aly and I’m 17
years old now. I witnessed the incident
of love when I was 14. Since that day, I have given up on this idea of “love”
because love is just a tragedy to witness first hand. Seeing
your father whom you have known for the past fourteen years just walk out of
the house with a suitcase and not tell the people he once loved “goodbye,” shows
how much I will never fall in love!
